I am not on facebook and I find quilters other ways but I know many business owners use it as a tool for their business. I hope whatever you decide that it works for you.

They don't deserve your business if they operate that way, period. So don't feel bad! I see your postings every day & enjoy every one. Good for you if you take Sundays off - I couldn't imagine having to actually DO all of what you do EVERY SINGLE DAY. So glad you are safe after the accident - I'd feel the same way, hoping the deer is ok, too.

I switched to email and do get them the next day, but I have never missed one. Thanks for the wonderful times on your blogs.

Some adverts were quite offensive too. So I don't miss it, and I don't have many family members on there because we keep in touch by Whatsapp - oh yes, FB took that over! It's getting to be a bit of a black hole! Instagram I joined but immediately had a gentleman following me which I thought was strange especially as I hadn't posted any photos. I do use it to see when people share things, like in the mysteries but not to post my own - I use Fotobucket instead when sharing (used to be Pinterest but that wouldn't load photos on properly and was unable to share with that format. I was also making videos (non quilty) on Youtube but stopped when I had spammers. I do read your blogs though and only have a few other favourites - otherwise I'd never get anything done! So no worries about you saying tootle pip to Facebook. They'll probably lose a lot more people with that sort of stance that they are taking.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00237828174807811725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-27050911310192051892020-11-02T15:32:53.948-05:002020-11-02T15:32:53.948-05:00As much as I enjoy your daily posts, I agree you n...As much as I enjoy your daily posts, I agree you need to take Sundays off.

If they won't listen to you then I say good riddance to them. I'm glad you are okay after your accident and that the car is fixable. My son-in-law was not able to stop before hitting a truck that jack knifed in front of him on icy roads last Monday. He was also thankfully uninjured but the poor car was a goner. They were able to find another used car last Thursday. With so much illness and death, I'm so thankful that these minor incidents are just blips and am so grateful when life can go on.Barbara Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12349374812305008691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-82079954682543440062020-11-02T13:59:34.110-05:002020-11-02T13:59:34.110-05:00Honestly I don't know how you do it.

I deleted my instagram yesterday and twitter is next. I find both are hard to use and finally I decided why am I even bothering? Remember My Space? Facebook is becoming un-user friendly more and more each day. I started using Facebook in fall of 2009 as a way to keep track of friends and family far away. I was watching a late fall 2019 Quilt-Cam yesterday and you mentioned that you couldn't wait for 2020 to come. I had to laugh wondering if you remembered that comment from then. Have a wonderful day.katesquilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990803723620420789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-80822069592270589932020-11-02T12:16:43.939-05:002020-11-02T12:16:43.939-05:00Love your daily blogs, but I firmly believe that s...Love your daily blogs, but I firmly believe that sometimes less is more. Stores in our lifetimes used to be open only 5 days a week...Monday to Friday and we all survived. Back then, women mostly stayed at home and raised kids and baked, etc. So 5 days to shop was adequate. If I were a bloggger, i would return to those 'good old days', and wouldn't folks be happy it was Monday morning again. How refreshed you would be after a weekend with family and yourself!Rosemariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05667810500722785652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-54299386014497327892020-11-02T10:41:38.145-05:002020-11-02T10:41:38.145-05:00I know exactly what you mean about pounding the ke...I know exactly what you mean about pounding the key board being therapy. Many times I will type out a long message then delete it as it was not always nice thoughts but I got them out of my system.

Not even much on FB. But I definitely encourage you to take Sunday as a media day off. We all need time to recharge and re-energize; it's hard to do that when every day is a day that you feel you need to be available to your followers. Just do it! Your soul and body will thank you and you will be better equipped to deal with all the positives as well as the occasional negatives that come your way. I've only made a couple of your quilt patterns but I love them all and have a waiting list. I'm collecting fabrics to use for a Straits of Mackinac quilt!

I went to MEWE but they are not user friendly. You may want to try Parlar. I want to check it out but haven't gotten that far yet. Since I come to your email everyday, I am with you at deleting my account. Life has taken me in crazy places as well but I've not encountered a deer in many years. My mother hit one once and I was in the car with her. We were fine but I don't think the deer was. We lived in Canada at the time. I don't remember the damage to the car as I was young but I am sure it was there. Blessings on your day.

Technology can be so frustrating. We will follow you no matter what you decide about Facebook or taking Sunday off. Sounds like a day off would be a good “me” day. I’m sure you can use it. Take care and thank you for another beautiful color and theme choice for this year’s winter mystery quilt.Aktibbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16952097497312088680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-55861452099179071352020-11-02T08:52:26.580-05:002020-11-02T08:52:26.580-05:00Bonnie, Glad you were not hurt by the deer.

I only read your blog via email even though I do have a FB account, but I don't check it daily (too much drama). So, dropping your FB account isn't an issue for me. I read your blog postings daily, but totally support your thoughts on taking Sundays off. You put a lot of work into your blog and your businesses. I, too, LOVE reading your blog about your family (both 2 legged and 4 legged), the Quiltville Inn, and, of course, your quilting "talk" whether it be patterns, techniques, tools, fabrics, etc. You put a lot of time and energy into your businesses and I do appreciate all you do and write!
